What can I study
Discover the different subject areas you can study at Nottingham Trent University as a study abroad student.
At NTU the individual units you study are called modules. These are sometimes called courses or classes in other universities.
Students are normally required to take a full module load at NTU: 60 credits (30 ECTS) per semester or 120 credits (60 ECTS) over a full academic year. Many NTU modules are 20 credits each, however, there are 10, 30, 40 and even full year modules worth 100 credits, depending on your study subject.
We recommend that for every 1 credit you should aim to do around 10 hours of independent study. This means that for each 20 credit course, you should be putting in 200 hours of study per semester. Students are expected to attend all the classes and complete all the assessments for each module.
Please consider your module choices carefully and liaise with your home university exchange coordinator to ensure your choices are appropriate for your subject and level of study. Your home university coordinator must approve your module choices. We also advise students to consider a few alternative modules in case first choices are not available due to limited availability, timetable clashes or module withdrawal.
You will normally select modules from the second year of an undergraduate programme. In some subjects, you will be able to choose from level 1 and level 3 modules also, but please ensure that you meet all academic pre-requisites for all selected modules.
Our exchange and study abroad students are taught alongside home and international students taking full degree programmes. Please note that you will not be able to mix modules across different Schools.
